Chairman Kendrick introduced himself and gave his address in the city followed ~ by other members of the Commission. The following letter from the City Attorney was submitted stating criteria for "subdivision" and/on "replatting of property: ~ April 19, 1983 Mr. Robert Kendrick Chairman - Zoning F~ Planning Commission City of West University Place 3800 University Blvd. . Houston, TX 77005 , Dear Mr. Kendrick: Pursuant to your request, I hereby issue my opinion regarding the criteria to be considered by your commission regarding the subdivision of lots in our city, "Subdivision" means the division of a lot, tract or parcel of land into two or more lot.sites or divisions of land for the purpose, whether immediate or future, for sale or building development. (Article XXV, Section 8, City Charter). SUBDIVISIONS All subdivision request must be reviewed and approved by your commission. The subdivision request shall be submitted in the form of a plat to locate the proper.ty in relationship to other property in the area together with other docu- ments your Commission requires. When a subdivision request is submitted, your Commission should consider the follow= ing prior to approval or disapproval: a) Title to said property is established by Title Policy Committment in the applicant. , b) The survey submitted by the owner is prepared by a certified registered engineer or surveyor and such is adequate to locate the subdivision pro- • perty and the relationship to continguous property by metes and bounds. c) That all city services, (water, sewer, garbage, etc.) can be provided from existing lines or new lines proposed to be installed by the applicant. d) That all lots so subdivided meet the minimum lot size requirements, street frontage and related building site requirements, such as front,set back lines. e) That the general plan of the City, (i.e, single family residential units in a single family residential zone), is met. f) Also, the Commission should consider the impact of the proposed subdivision on the traffic flow and traffic pattern on the main front street and ancillary streets. Assuming a submission for subdivision receives the approval of your Commission, then • the submission plat and related documents shall be approved. It is my opinion that said subdivision plat need not.be recorded in the map or plat records of Harris County since said subdivision is to be made by metes and bounds of existing platted lots which can readily be identified by reference. Any approval should be conditioned on obtaining building permits,and compliance with the Zoning Ordinance and Building Codes of the City. r~ .~~ ~ • ~ ZONING F, PLANNING COMMISSION PAGE 2. • APRIL 19, 1983 STREETS No street or other ground shall be accepted by the City as a public street or ground, unless the location thereof is ... approved by your Commission (Article XXV, Section 10, City Charter). Regarding the agproval of a submission for a street on private property, as you now have pending, your Commission's consideration should address the following: a) Relationship to and ability to "tie into" existing public streets. b) The location and width of the proposed street easement to the proposed lots, (i.e, adequate easement for expansion of the street, maintenance thereof and utility easements). ~ c) The potential extension of such streets to and across property that would face the proposed street if extended to a logical terminus. If adjacent property owners made similar request for a private street, can the extension reasonably be accomplished? I~ L ~ Should your Commission approve the proposed street location on private property, you should address a letter to the City Commission, the completion by the owner. If the Commission does not approve a proposed street or a subdivision request, please forward your letter to the City Commission and the applicant setting forth, specifi- cally, the reason or reasons for such denial. This opinion specifically addresses the King and T'hompson applications now pending, however, until revised or modified, you may consider the criteria set forth to apply to all subdivision and street construction request properly before your Commission. If you have any questions, please contact me. Sincerely, David G.
